Proceeding contribution from Baroness May of Maidenhead (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 May 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Equality Bill.


Equality Bill

I want to finish this point. I did not say that the proposals in the Bill were impossible to implement for technical reasons. The technical aspects have not yet been agreed on, decided or discussed. What I did say was that requiring every company of a certain size to undergo a compulsory pay audit, regardless of whether it had been practising discrimination, would mean that fair employers would have to pay a price despite not having been guilty of discrimination.
